"What kind of fist technique is this!"

Seeing his Protective Gang Qi easily pierced through, the ugly youth was overwhelmed with shock.

He hadn't expected Luo Feng's casual punch to possess such fearsome power! Not only did it completely neutralize his attack, but the remaining force even shattered his Protective Gang Qi.

"One move!"

Luo Feng looked at the ugly youth, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth. His calm voice carried a bone-chilling coldness.

"Damn it! Dream on if you think you can defeat me in three moves!"

His eyes shimmered with a savage light. The ugly youth frantically circulated the Yuan Qi within his body.

"Red Spirit Sky Fire Gang!"

The Protective Gang Qi, which had been violently collapsing, suddenly blazed with brilliant light, forming a fire barrier. The barrier was crystal clear, like a flaming sphere. The surrounding firelight flickered faintly as if it were furiously burning, securely guarding the ugly youth within.

WHOOSH...

Outside the bamboo forest, a hot wind gusted. The dry leaves near the ugly youth emitted a crackling sound, releasing tendrils of blue smoke, seemingly about to catch fire at any moment.

The students who were closer were forced to retreat repeatedly by the scorching wave of heat.

Standing within the Flame Gang Qi, the ugly youth gazed at Luo Feng, a chill flashing in the depths of his eyes.

The Red Spirit Sky Fire Gang was a formidable move in the Red Spirit Heavenly Fire Skill. It could burn Gang Qi, and its destructive power stood out even among Profound Level inferior martial arts! The Gang Qi of a typical Martial Artist at the Eighth Layer of the Hell Realm would be completely incinerated upon contact!

If Luo Feng can't resist, I can surge forward and attack him when he's unprepared!

The ugly youth calculated secretly, but Luo Feng didn't give him this opportunity.

Facing the oppressive heat of the Flame Gang Qi, Luo Feng's expression remained unchanged. His eyebrows twitched, and a resounding dragon roar echoed throughout the bamboo forest.

A pitch-black, dragon-shaped Gang Qi enveloped Luo Feng. The Flame Gang Qi couldn't even get close before it was completely devoured by the black Gang Qi.

"He can actually counteract the Red Spirit Sky Fire Gang Qi!"

Qin Huan, watching the battle from the side, felt his eye twitch violently. Staring at Luo Feng, who was protected by the colossal dragon, his eyes were wide and bloodshot.

No wonder he was so shocked. The defensive power of the Red Spirit Sky Fire Gang was excellent, and even he was somewhat wary of it. But now, Luo Feng had dispelled it easily, without any effort.

"Let's see how you break my Red Spirit Sky Fire True Gang Qi!"

The ugly youth knew he was no match for Luo Feng. He stopped attacking and pushed all his Yuan Qi to its limit, intensifying the Red Spirit Sky Fire Gang.

Intense flames flickered in Luo Feng's pupils. His gaze suddenly sharpened like a blade's edge as he threw a punch.

"Breaking Sky Fist!"

BOOM!

The surrounding air compressed, forming an umbrella-shaped Gang Qi in front of Luo Feng. Accompanied by a series of thunderous roars, it howled forward, smashing hard against the ugly youth's Protective Gang Qi.

CRACKLE!

Two completely different types of Gang Qi collided. The powerful shockwave formed waves of transparent Qi Force that spread outwards. All the purple bamboo within a radius of one hundred feet instantly exploded.

Some Tianlan School students with lower cultivation levels were forced back by the shockwave, their faces turning pale. Their bodies felt as if they had been hammered countless times, and they nearly vomited blood.

BOOM!

The Flame Gang Qi and the transparent Fist Gang Qi remained deadlocked for a moment before suddenly exploding. The intense Qi Force shot out in all directions, even more fiercely than before, causing many students to cough up blood.

With a dull thud, the ugly youth's Flame Gang Qi was blasted to smithereens. A jet of blood spurted from his mouth as he was sent flying.

CRACK!

Still in mid-air, the clothes over his chest suddenly burst open, and he spat out another mouthful of black blood. Clearly, the punch had damaged his internal organs, causing severe internal injuries.

This was despite Luo Feng using only sixty percent of his strength; otherwise, that single punch would have been enough to kill him.

"Junior Brother!" Qin Huan exclaimed, rushing forward to support the ugly youth.

The surroundings fell deathly silent.

"Two moves! He defeated his opponent in just two moves! The power of that punch was simply unstoppable!"

"They're both Martial Artists at the early stage of the Eighth Level of the Hell Realm, but their strength is on completely different levels. It seems Senior Brother Luo Feng didn't even use his full power."

"Yeah. His expertise is Saber Technique, and he didn't even draw his weapon. He didn't deploy his Grand Momentum either. He probably only used eighty percent of his strength."

"Eighty percent..."

The surrounding Tianlan School students stared in shock, their eyes filled with a mixture of envy, admiration, and, above all, awe.

Luo Feng was about their age, but his achievements were such that they could only look up to him.

"Anyway, Senior Brother Luo Feng defeating an expert from Ivy School has restored some honor for our Four Great Academies! Let's see if they dare to be so arrogant anymore!" someone said.

"Indeed! That was so satisfying!"

Many others nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with joy at Luo Feng's victory.

To one side of the bamboo forest, He Qin slowly exhaled. A soft smile touched her rosy lips, her beautiful eyes fixed on Luo Feng, revealing a trace of surprise.

Luo Feng is currently in the mid-phase of the Eighth Level of the Hell Realm. Defeating that ugly youth was expected. But for him to severely injure his opponent in just two moves... that still deeply shook me.

"Junior Brother, how are you?" Qin Huan asked, supporting the ugly youth and giving him a medicinal elixir.

After swallowing the elixir, the ugly youth's complexion eased slightly. He glared at Luo Feng with gloomy eyes. "Senior Brother Qin, avenge me!"

Seeing the dark, fist-shaped bruise on his junior brother's chest, an intensely cold glint flashed in Qin Huan's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry. Your senior brother will get justice for you!"

At this moment, Qin Huan was extremely annoyed.

He had been paying attention to He Qin the entire time.

She hasn't taken her eyes off Luo Feng for a moment, not even glancing at me! This feeling of being ignored is making me mad with jealousy!

With a dark expression, he handed the ugly youth over to another Ivy School student. Qin Huan stood up, turned to Luo Feng, and growled, "Luo Feng, this was supposed to be a friendly spar, where one stops before causing serious harm. Yet you struck so viciously! Were you deliberately trying to kill my junior brother?"

He Qin's delicate eyebrows knitted slightly.

That ugly youth attacked without any restraint earlier; he was utterly vicious. If it weren't for Luo Feng's superior strength, his life might have been in danger. How could Qin Huan have the nerve to say such things?

This was an academy, after all, and He Qin didn't want things to escalate. She took a shallow breath and said, "Qin Huan, everyone witnessed the duel. Luo Feng clearly showed restraint. Let's let this matter drop."

Hearing He Qin speak up for Luo Feng, Qin Huan felt his blood boil, his eyes turning faintly red. He spun around and sneered, "He Qin, why do you keep defending Luo Feng? Are you two having some kind of sordid affair?"

Knowing he had no hope left with her, Qin Huan completely abandoned any pretense, finally revealing his true nature.

Upon hearing his words, He Qin's face turned deathly pale.

WHOOSH!

A cold light flashed, and the Three Feet Green Edge appeared in her hand. With a flick of her wrist, the gleaming sword edge vanished into the air.

Sensing danger, Qin Huan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly dodged to the side.

SWISH!

A transparent Sword Qi tore through the space where he had just stood, carving a terrifying gash in the ground. Its residual power, undiminished, slashed through a large swathe of the bamboo grove a hundred meters away.

"Qin Huan, take back what you just said! Otherwise, consider us mortal enemies!" He Qin's pretty face was as white as snow, her cool voice radiating an intense frostiness. Her slender shoulders trembled slightly as she pointed her sword at Qin Huan.

Luo Feng is the first person in all these years I can speak freely with. I treasure our relationship and won't allow any stain on it!

Qin Huan glanced at the terrifying sword mark beside him and took a deep breath.

If I had dodged even a fraction slower just now, I would have been gravely injured, if not dead.

He shot Luo Feng a sinister look, his gaze growing even more malicious. The more outstanding He Qin appeared, the deeper his hatred for Luo Feng became.

The Tianlan School students all looked coldly at Qin Huan. He Qin was the foremost prodigy of Tianlan School; Qin Huan's words were undoubtedly an insult to their entire academy.

Luo Feng looked at Qin Huan and sneered, "I didn't realize you could stoop so low. I happen to be looking for some teaching material, and you'll do nicely."

Turning to He Qin, Luo Feng said, "He Qin, leave him to me. Just stay put."

I was just considering how to help He Qin comprehend Sword Intent. Seeing Qin Huan now... I have an idea! He's a perfect test subject; it would be a waste not to use him.

He Qin was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood Luo Feng's intention.

Although I'm a little unwilling, I know this is a rare opportunity. She sheathed her longsword.

SWISH!

Drawing the Tiger Soul Saber, Luo Feng faced Qin Huan and said coldly, "As Martial Artists, battle is our destiny! Qin Huan, you want to avenge your junior brother, don't you? Then come!"

Qin Huan was momentarily taken aback, then sneered inwardly. You walked right into this! I can't wait to see the look on your face when this is over!

Although the ugly youth had been easily defeated by Luo Feng, Qin Huan wasn't particularly concerned. In Red Maple Lead, his strength was considered quasi-Young Master level.

Although that ugly youth is also at the early stage of the Hell Realm, compared to me, our abilities are worlds apart. I'm confident I can defeat Luo Feng.

"Luo Feng, I'll make you regret saying that!" Qin Huan drew his longsword and stood before Luo Feng.

「The next moment.」

The longsword in Qin Huan's hand emitted a crimson glow. Upon closer inspection, one could see the glow was composed of countless fine, needle-like rays, as if innumerable sharp blades were perfectly fused. An austere killing aura, heavy with the air of death, swept out in all directions, seeming to devour all surrounding vitality.

"HISS! What a powerful sword momentum! That's the Falling Maple Swordsmanship of Ivy School. The Thousands of Light Golden Sword!"

"Falling Maple Swordsmanship is one of Ivy School's most famous martial arts. It's incredibly powerful, rumored to be able to snatch life and condemn souls to the netherworld. Cultivated to its highest realm, myriad glints appear like swords, and wherever it passes, not even a blade of grass can survive! It is a terrifying swordsmanship, as renowned and feared as the Invisible Sword Technique!"

"Qin Huan's Falling Maple Swordsmanship has already manifested the image of the Thousands of Light Golden Sword—it's extraordinary! This kind of swordsmanship is devious and ruthless. I wonder if Luo Feng can withstand it."

The crowd watched Qin Huan, their gazes heavy with concern.

Luo Feng glanced at the sword in Qin Huan's hand, his expression as calm as still water, without a single ripple. He slowly said, "The Dao of Change begins in stillness and ends in stillness. Still as a mountain, changing like water. The Grand Momentum is like a blade!"

HUM!

A strange fluctuation emerged. A domineering will swept through everyone's minds. A colossal, illusory blade materialized around Luo Feng, piercing the heavens, as immovable as a mountain.

"Could this be his comprehension of the Grand Momentum?"

Most people found Luo Feng's words baffling. Only He Qin's eyes brightened, and she began to carefully ponder the Grand Momentum Luo Feng demonstrated.
